Sunken Tombs Returns

A 3D adaptation of Sunken Tombs from the original Risk of Rain! Although it was originally a stage 3 map, this version is a stage 4 map instead. It has a similar layout: tall-ish, mostly underwater with a small above-water layer at the top.

The visuals were specifically based on the map's appearance in Risk of Rain Returns, hence the name, but there's also a few details that aren't really in either version. Hopefully it still feels familiar despite that.

This is not the mod that changes Void Locus to a stage 5 map!! If you're looking for that one, you can find it here.

Monster Cage

Instead of a legendary chest, there's a cage hidden in a random spot in the map. Open it to fight a monster and get a free legendary item, which is dropped next to the cage after it's defeated.

Simulacrum

Sunken Tomb also comes with a Void replication, exclusive to SotV's Simulacrum gamemode. It has a few extra geysers and some vertical lifts (like the ones in Repurposed Crater) to help with getting around. It also has Mini Mushrums instead of Hermit Crabs.
